Review

The Maze of the Beast is the sixth book in the Deltora Quest series, and it is quite the adventure novel. While the story and series may be directed towards a younger audience, the book remains a wonderfully entertaining read. The new characters in the Maze of the Beast are incredibly well developed and most have good backstories, and this particular book is full of unexpected plot twists. They twists and turns are probably the best part of this book, as they flow very well together and add precious little details to the story. The beasts, traps, and terrors also stand out. The new monster called the Ol is very intriguing, and add to the suspense of the book. I will say that the one fault in the series, at least to me, is that the "boss" monster at the end usually doesn’t add much to story. It isn’t very terrifying, and it seems underwhelming after the rest of the action packed events. I would recommend this book to anyone with a bit of spare time on their hands, as this light read proves very amusing.
